Abstract

AbstractMycena chlorophos, which is primarily distributed in Southeast Asia, is a luminous fungus that emits a bright green light from its pileus for about 2 days at approximately 20°C and high relative humidity. The distribution of bioluminescent tissues in the whole pileus and its sections was heterogeneous. The light intensity in the cap and the upper region of the gill was greater than that in the lower region of the gill. At the microscopic level, the light was predominantly emitted from the membranes of hymenium and basidia cells on the gill. The emission was both cell and region specific. The luminescence system was localized in the cell membrane, and a part of the system was on the cell membrane surface. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
